Taylor Swift Admits She’s ‘Dead’ Following Compliment From Madonna

Is Madonna a closeted Swiftie? Basically. The Queen of Pop recently opened up about her love of pop's new princess, Taylor Swift, paying her a huge compliment.

In fact, in a chat with Network Nine's Australian presenter Richard Wilkins, the 'Material Girl' revealed that she just can't get Swift's songs out of her head.

"It's good to have princesses [of pop]," Madonna says (quote via Billboard). "It means there's lots of pretty dresses around. I like Taylor Swift. I think she writes some really catchy pop songs. I can't get them out of my head."

There aren't many names bigger than Taylor Swift these days, but when the star heard the praise from Madonna, a legend, she couldn't contain her excitement, taking to her Tumblr to fangirl.

"Thanks now I'm dead," the 'Red' star writes. Although her comment got the point across, her hashtags were the icing on the adorable cake: "#How am I supposed to deal with this #be cool Taylor stop being embarrassing."

This good news is likely welcomed -- it comes just after Swift's social media accounts were hacked on Tuesday afternoon (Jan. 27).
